Some of the links on this forum allow SMF, at no cost to you, to earn a small commission when you click through and make a purchase. Let me know if you have any questions about this.
The smoker you purchased is probably the most difficult for a beginner to learn on. There are modifications that can be made but as you noticed that there are severe temperature swings and the fire needs constant attention. Temp swings make it very difficult to get a consistent product. There...
They do have KCBS events which bans the use of all electrical devices, no pellet cookers, temperature controllers, rotisseries, ect
Charcoal and wood that's it!
Not sure if it will work, the heat would be an issue and the smoke would cloud the view, but then the film build up on the camera lens would make it impossible to see. I put an oven thermometer in my smoker just to see if the internal temp was the same as my thermometer. The glass on the oven...
That's a tough question still. I love my wsm and didn't mind spending the time to tweek it to what I ended up with. The easy answer is to go get the Gateway drum.
I would have to say that there are very small differences between the two. The end product is the same to me. The drum is more air tight but the wsm can be made air tight. With all the mods I have into my wsm it's right around about $1,000, it includes the cost of the smoker, a Digi Que 2 temp...

Increase the air inlet size and also increase the size of the opening between the fire box and the cook chamber, then add a baffle above as a heat shield
You need to sign up for a class, go to KCBS website to find out where there might be one in your area. The class is around $85 and includes a one year membership to KCBS.
They take you through the entire process of what a typical contest would be and how to judge each type of meat entry along...
